Baili Ye spoke first:

“Your Majesty, our Dasheng has always valued its relationship with Xiliang. This time, upon learning that Xiliang was hit by a disaster, Your Majesty sent people to borrow food and supplies. Our Emperor Dasheng felt deeply sympathetic and specially sent us here to negotiate.

However, Dasheng also suffered a snowstorm this winter. Although we are willing to help Xiliang, we also have many difficulties. Therefore, the food and supplies we can provide this time are also limited.

We hope that Xiliang can understand Dasheng’s difficulties and not make excessive demands.”

The Xiliang Emperor frowned slightly, and the minister next to him immediately said:

"With such strength, how could Dasheng not provide enough food and supplies? You are clearly making excuses."

Kundulun echoed:

"Yes, I heard that Dasheng traded with the Turks yesterday, and the grain alone amounted to 500,000 kilograms. Why is it that we have difficulty in Xiliang?"

Baili Ting said slowly:

“Although Dasheng has a certain amount of grain reserves, we cannot ignore the lives of the people.

We have done our best. If Xiliang insists on asking for more food and supplies, I am afraid that the people of Dasheng will be in trouble."

The Xiliang Emperor was silent for a moment, then said, "Then how much food and supplies can you provide?"

Baili Ye bowed slightly and said in a deep voice:

"Your Majesty, Dasheng can provide 200,000 kilograms of food and corresponding cold-weather supplies. This is the maximum amount we can provide while ensuring the basic living conditions of the people of Dasheng."

The ministers of Xiliang looked at each other and began to discuss among themselves.

Kundulun frowned and said, "Two hundred thousand kilograms of food is too little. Xiliang has suffered serious disasters. This amount of food is just a drop in the bucket."

Qing He smiled lightly and said slowly:

“Prince Kundulun is wrong. Even though Dasheng itself was in disaster, it was still willing to lend a helping hand. This friendship is precious.

Moreover, if the 200,000 kilograms of grain can be distributed reasonably, it can also solve the urgent needs of Xiliang.

Furthermore, Dasheng and Xiliang can continue to strengthen trade exchanges, help each other, and develop together. "

The Xiliang Emperor nodded slightly, as if thinking about Qinghe's words. After a moment, he said, "I will accept the two hundred thousand kilograms of food for now. But the cold-weather supplies must be sufficient."

Baili Ting replied: "Your Majesty, Dasheng can provide 20,000 sets of warm clothing, hoping to help the people of Xiliang resist the severe cold."

The Xiliang Emperor nodded with satisfaction and said, "In that case, Prince Dasheng, when can the goods be delivered?"

Baili Ting bowed and replied: "Your Majesty, as long as Xiliang prepares the payment, we will hand over the money and the goods in half an hour."

The Emperor of Xiliang was slightly startled, and said, "To be honest with you, Prince Dasheng, Xiliang has suffered a serious disaster this time, and the treasury is really empty. I plan to borrow grain and supplies from Dasheng. I hope the prince and Prince Chen will be aware of this and be accommodating."

Baili Ting and Baili Ye looked at each other, thought for a moment, and said:

"Since Your Majesty said so, I can understand. Before we set out, my father once said that if Xiliang could not afford to buy these supplies, Dasheng would understand and express sympathy.

My father said that although Dasheng suffered severe damage this time, it is still willing to lend food and supplies to Xiliang to help Xiliang overcome the difficulties.

As long as Xiliang writes me an IOU and stamps it with the national seal, and guarantees to return the materials or the corresponding payment within three years, Dasheng will continue to provide materials for Xiliang. What do you think, Your Majesty?"

The Emperor of Xiliang sneered in his heart. He thought that as long as he wrote an IOU and waited for Xiliang to obtain the supplies from Dasheng, he could not only solve the urgent problem, but also use these supplies to attack Dasheng.

When the battle is won, not only can the IOU be cancelled and the city of Dasheng be obtained, but Dasheng can also be required to pay tribute to Xiliang every year, and even Dasheng's novel industries can be competed for.

He had all the best ideas in his mind, but he didn't show it on his face. After a moment's hesitation, he said, "Well, since the Emperor of Dasheng is so generous, I will write the IOU as you said and stamp it with the imperial seal."

Afterwards, the Emperor of Xiliang ordered his ministers to fetch paper and pen, write down the IOU, stamp it with the imperial seal, and hand it to Baili Ting. Baili Ting took the IOU, examined it carefully, and put it in his arms.

"Your Majesty, now that the IOU has been signed, we will go back to arrange the delivery of supplies. I hope Xiliang can overcome the difficulties as soon as possible, and I hope the friendship between the two countries will last forever." Baili Ting said with a bow.

The Emperor of Xiliang nodded slightly and said, "Thank you, Crown Prince Dasheng, Prince Chen, and Princess Chen. I will definitely remember the friendship of Dasheng."

“In that case, Your Majesty, please send someone to pick up the goods half an hour later, twenty miles outside Xiliang.

The New Year is coming soon. Once the materials are handed over, we will return to Dasheng tomorrow morning."

After leaving the palace, the three quickly returned to the posthouse and began to arrange the delivery of supplies.

Qinghe and a few others teleported away from the inn and arrived at the suburbs twenty miles away. They took out the supplies to be lent to Xiliang from the space, and five hundred elite soldiers guarded the supplies.

After returning to the posthouse, Kundulun brought a group of soldiers to the posthouse to look for Baili Ting and the other two.

"Prince Dasheng, shall we go to the suburbs together?"

"please."

The group arrived twenty miles outside the suburbs in a mighty procession. The soldiers of Xiliang saw the mountains of food and cold-weather supplies, and their eyes showed surprise.

The minister in charge of receiving supplies in Xiliang hurried forward and handed over the supplies to Baili Ting and others.
